''Looksmaxxing'' influencer Clavicular didn't instigate a fight between a couple women on his stream, and his behavior was a result of him being autistic ... sources close to him tell TMZ.

The popular streamer was arrested in Florida on Thursday and hit with a misdemeanor battery charge after cops say he instigated a fight between a 19-year-old woman and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Violet ... but sources close to him are pushing back on the police narrative.

Denise Richards' estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, is now on the hook for a hefty sum after failing to respond to a lawsuit ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted a default judgment in the amount of approximately $160K against Aaron.

The case was brought by a widower named Rupert Perry, who says he lost his wife, Elina Katsioula-Beall, in May 2024 following a battle with sarcoma cancer.

Hope captions the post with "GRWM while I process my friend group being a waiting room for my ex-husband" -- GRWM meaning "get ready with me" for those who aren't chronically online -- and she's clearly alluding to the recent scandal involving her baby daddy ... along with his history of getting with other members of her girl group.

Jelly Roll is getting back in a WWE ring on Friday ... and his opponent, Kit Wilson, tells TMZ Sports the guy might be a big-time singer, but he's treating him like the real deal when they face off on SmackDown.

"I'm not taking him lightly," Wilson told us. "He has a passion for WWE and I think that's the big difference between a lot of celebrities before and maybe a Jelly Roll and a Logan Paul. I know I'm good at this. I know I'm one of the best. I know I'm going to be one of the future greats, but Jelly Roll cares. Jelly Roll has passion. So I know not to underestimate that."
